#48 - Suikoden V

Game: Suikoden V
System: Playstation 2
Genre: RPG



The most recent Suikoden starts off painfully slowly but soon blossoms into one of the best in series which reminds me of Suikoden 2 more than any of the others. The Prince is an especially feminine male hero but still kind of cool and it goes without saying for a Suikoden game that the plot is full of twists, turns and shocks. There are also lots of brilliant Stars of Destiny, both new and old (Georg Prime from S2 is used very well and who saw Byakuren coming?). It also has a few alternate endings, a couple of alternate Stars and some regular Stars that are so well hidden I completely missed them my first time around so that definitely warrants a replay sometime.
